The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship

The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship grew out of faculty and student interests that emerged in the late 1990s. Since then, the Center has developed and expanded into a flourishing nexus of social responsibility, civic engagement, and global peace work, both on campus and in the greater community.

Thanks to funding from the CPGC, Alison Love '18 and Jahzara Heredia '16 spent the summer working on the campus farm. Photo: Holden Blanco '17.
